Libraries, Museums & Archives

Inspired by stories, characters and moments in history, we create themed events to fire up the imagination.

Before founding Figuration, we spent many years working in cultural organisations and book stores, so it was natural to look to stories and history for inspiration for our events. From architectural archives to Queer literature, comics and children's classics, we have devised and delivered workshops in libraries, museums, community centres, bookstores, and pubs for a range of audiences.

Event Highlights

This 2-day half-term workshop for young people, aged 9 - 14 years took inspiration from the clothed male and female life subject. Delivered in partnership with Barnet Libraries and Barnet Youth Engagement Services.

Late Night Library Club brought to life the world of Alan Hollinghurst’s Booker Prize-winning novel The Line of Beauty, where classical traditions meet cottages and cocaine and rent boys rub shoulders (and more) with MPs - including The Starkers Atelier.
